Awarded Health Care flooring from Geo Flooring
Geo Flooring (Aust) Pty Ltd is the distributor of Tandus products in
Australasia. Tandus is a leading commercial floor covering manufacturer, and has received
a 2006 Performance Award for Supplier Quality Programs from Premier Inc., one of the largest
healthcare group purchasing organizations in the United States. The award recognizes
achievements in supplier quality, accuracy, timeliness, contracts and forecasting.
"Tandus has had a long relationship with Premier and its members and we are
thrilled to receive this award. It recognizes the efforts of our entire organization and
the focus we have on improving the quality of healthcare environments while lowering their
costs," said Ridley Kinsey, General Manager/Healthcare Markets for Tandus.
Tandus, a contracted supplier of Premier Inc., achieved top status in 2006 by being one
of a few select vendors to receive Premier's Supplier Performance Award. The winners were
chosen based on outstanding quality improvement as contracted suppliers. The companies that
received this award scored 80% or above on specific scorecard metrics for four successive
quarters. Criteria included meeting or exceeding the needs and expectations of Premier
members, delivering quality products on time and at contracted cost, as well as following
all Premier contract rules and obligations.
"As a recipient of this award, Tandus helps set the standard for all of Premier's
contracted suppliers," said Susan DeVore, president of Premier Purchasing Partners,
L.P. "We are proud to honor Tandus as we work together to improve the healthcare of
our communities."
The awards were recently presented at Premier's annual Breakthroughs Conference and Exhibition
in Orlando, Florida, which drew approximately 3,000 healthcare system and supplier attendees
this year.
